Scott Parker

With the best squads in the league in Fulham & Bournemouth. Bournemouth fans wanted him gone well before this and often complained about how poor they were. They just scraped over the line.

Guarantee if he came to a club like us he’d flop.

I wouldn't have him here, and it's almost definitely because of the quality of the squads he had, but I'm not sure you can say they scraped over the line when they only lost 1 of their last 15 games and finished 6 points clear of 3rd.
 
I'm sick of our manager being among the bookies favourites every time a job vacancy comes up. Sometimes this is beyond your control and there's not much you can do about it but in our circumstance its clearly as a result of the Wilder/Burnley saga. Its obvious the bookies see Wilder as lacking commitment to his role and his tenure here is not built on solid ground. A well handled press conference at the time would have stopped all of this.
 
I think people are being a little harsh on Parker in this thread like. He's only been a manager a few year and got 2 promotions.

It's ok saying he had good squads, but thats only part of it. You still need to organise and motivate them, and everything else that comes with being a manager.

It's a long tough season, he deserves credit for those 2 promotions, he's obviously got something about him.

He was favourite for the Burnley job from the get go, and that was before the Burnley saga.

Bookies's odds are just a lazy list, not sure why anybody pays attention to them.

He's going to be one of the favourites for every single decent available job for a while yet, it comes with the territory.

That’s not my words mate, that’s the words of their fans. I think at one point they were something like 15 points clear of 3rd.

I got absolutely slated on here for saying it at the time. The only reason he didn’t quash the Burnley rumours was because he wanted to go. He has absolutely no commitment to anyone other than himself. (Not saying that he should, it’s a business after all).
